DAISIES.

blrplng and tossing at every breath
OF the random zephyr that passes by,
The daisies sway like n sea beneath
The deep blue vault Of the cloud.neokei
Over Inc pillows of gold and white
Flicker the shadows and fall the light.
There's never daisy In all the host
Was here In the summers of long ago.
And still the fancy which charms us most
Is a haunting whisper sweet and low,
Stirring our hearts with its tender strain,
Here are the daisies back again"
The same dear daisies we used to Gull
When hands were tiny and hearts were gay,
Gathering them till ir laps were fuil
Many and many summer day,
stfily repeating u magic rune,
FtinginR the petals to time the tune.
And here, in the midst Of the white and gold,
Old as Eden yet ever new,
Is the same sweet story OF sladness told
Under the sky so wide and blue
Her face on the daisies shyly bent,
His eyes on her with a proud content.
There may be. far from this hushed retreat,
Din and tumult and sordid care;
Somewhere, perhaps, Is the drums harsh
beat,
In the silent meadow the daisies blow.
There are always dreams In this toilsome
world
Pure as heaven and true as God,
Who sends us dawns with the dews I'm
pearled,
And scatters tho glory of bloom abroad.
May the story that's ever both old and now
For the lovers here be dream come true

would need as a permanent
force ten clerks, whose aggregated
compensation was estimated at Sl4,200
per annum. AT that time, says A. II.
5. ID. In q letter on the subject to the
Minneapolis Tribune, the whole nun.
Der Of invalid pensioners on the lists of
the Pension Office was Ais. Whole
number drawing pensions In 1850 49,
O10, of which 5,207 were Revolutionary
pensioners. And yet, with this insig.
nificant family of pensioners, compared
with the number on the rolls to day,
requiring 1S pension agents, $50 spe
cial examiners and 400 clerks and
other employees TO look after them,
Commissioner Heath thought he was
doing an immense business, and Sc.
riously contemplated asking Congress
for an increase of pay. When the
Patent Office was organized, July 2S,
1886, 1t had but one examining clerk.
Before the organization, at no time did
1t require the services of more than
half a dozen employees, oil told, to
transact the patent business Of the
country, and about the commence
ment of the century, the whole reve.
nue. of the Office did not exceed 81 800
per annum, which went to one clerk,
who transacted the entire patent bust
ness of the country. In 1852 six ex
aminers and as many assistants were
kept busy, and in 1856 the revenue of
the office was 100000, which was
scarcely sufficient to defray the cur
rent expenses of the 100 examiners,
clerks and other employees. That year
14,00S patents were issued, which was
rather sickly illustration Of the capa-
bility of the force employed, when
compared with the 1888, ,404 issued In
1886, as the result of the work of 52S
employees. The office of the Depart.
mcnt of the Interior was keptin rented

occupying rooms which the Secretary
Of War said were indispensably neces,
sary for the accommodation of his
branch of the public service; and the
Land Office was in the upper story of
the Treasury building, to the great
annoyance of the Secretary Of the
Treasury, who was obliged to rent
rooms in private buildings for the use
Of some of his bureaus.

wilfully blind,

Wilfully blind,
Persistently determined not to find
A Great First Cause,
Author and Arbiter OF Natures laws,
They yet accept
With eager ciedulous haste
Alleged discoveries which they hope
=, may show
The Bible records wrongly kept
And Bible dates enormously placed.
OF the Pieran spring they've had a taste;
And what they merely think, they
think they know.
So when some Modern Scientist displays
his
Omniseience in long words and sound
Ing phrases,
But takes mere theories and hypothesis
For solid facts, listen, Ill at ease
But humbly silent, to his monologue,
And think me awhile, "Youug man,
you're shingling on the fog"
Religion too, alas
Has doctrinares and dogmatists who preach
Their man-made creeds and forms as
Gods own law;
And the t0o-credulous mass,
Impressed by cx-cathedra modes OF speech,
Listen with undiscriminating awe.
Yet, nevertheless,
When these self.chosen oracles pro-
fess
More knowledge oil Gods purposes ami
ways
Than He saw ilt
In the Apostles days,
Alike to all men to reveal,
As now recorded In His holy Writ,
The humblest hearer in the synagogue
Should know and feel
That they are merely shlngling on the fog.
Law too, and medicine, politics, the press,
And almost every other occupation,
Give frequent opportunities to express
BY this brief metaphor the situation.
In short, whenever any one mistakes
New words and phrases for new infor-
nation,
Or bare assertion for the truth, or makes
Mere theorizing serve for explanation,
Or dogma for religion, or forsakes
Sound common sense for hare Drained
speculation,
He seriously errs In Just the way
That calls to mind, as fitting Illustration,
The sad predicament OF Deacon Gray.
